Hey guys and girls, I'm new to pacemaker/heartbeat/corosync/openais. I've been using FreeBSD+Carp for high availability of simple web/proxy servers for a few years now, but we want to standardize all our *nix machines to CentOS now. In my quest for an easy-to-use and robust HA suite, I am now evaluating pacemaker. From what I've seen so far, pacemaker looks very nice.
I set up a test lab with two ESX vm's with CentOS 5.5, and followed the instructions here: http://www.clusterlabs.org/wiki/Install#Installing_on_EPEL_Compatible_Distributions:_RHEL.2C_CentOS.2C_etc Because of using yum as a package manager, I can easily query and upgrade packages. I can get everything I want to work fine for ipv4 addresses. However, I have a problem with ipv6 addresses (we use ipv6 extensively, and it is a hard requirement). It looks like the IPv6addr resource agent is broken. I can get information on other resource agents fine: [r...@lb1 ~]# crm configure ra info IPaddr2 Manages virtual IPv4 addresses (Linux specific version) (ocf:heartbeat:IPaddr2) This Linux-specific resource manages IP alias IP addresses. It can add an IP alias, or remove one. .. However, if I try the same for the IPv6addr ra: [r...@lb1 ~]# crm configure ra info IPv6addr lrmadmin[29030]: 2010/08/24_14:51:14 ERROR: lrm_get_rsc_type_metadata(578): got a return code HA_FAIL from a reply message of rmetadata with function get_ret_from_msg. ERROR: ocf:heartbeat:IPv6addr: could not parse meta-data: Is this a known issue? Does anyone else use this ra? -- With kind regards, Angelo Höngens Systems Administrator ------------------------------------------ NetMatch tourism internet software solutions Ringbaan Oost 2b 5013 CA Tilburg T: +31 (0)13 5811088 F: +31 (0)13 5821239 mailto:a.hong...@netmatch.nl http://www.netmatch.nl ------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Pacemaker mailing list: Pacemaker@oss.clusterlabs.org http://oss.clusterlabs.org/mailman/listinfo/pacemaker Project Home: http://www.clusterlabs.org Getting started: http://www.clusterlabs.org/doc/Cluster_from_Scratch.pdf Bugs: http://developerbugs.linux-foundation.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Pacemaker
